Now, let me tell you…

You will love what you see

My hair, long, curly, red

My smile, alluring, captivating

My skin, flawless, glowing, pristine

My waist, tiny

My hips, huge

 

I don’t settle for less than 200 likes

My life worth is measured by how many people

Double tap my over-edited face

If they don’t like me, how I could I like myself?

 

Constantly checking and checking and checking

For that ominous little number under my picture

 

Am I worthy?

 

Never would I want my followers to see the real me

The girl who wakes up early to curl her hair

Pays thousands of dollars to whiten her smile

Wears loads of make up to cover her flaws

Who thinks She is undesirable in all aspects

 

Why would I wasn’t to #nofilter my life?

 

Easy.
